What does the Radavist mean?

Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST

Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally – it’s the inherent nature of living things to play. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike, riding singletrack on a ‘cross bike and shredding trails on a mountain bike. Take the time to get rad and tell the tale.

Trek’s Checkpoint All Road Bike Checks a Lot of Boxes
Mar 2, 2018

With clearance for a 45mm knobby tire, a road geometry, sliding dropouts allowing for 15mm of adjusment, options for aluminum or carbon, and bottle bosses galore, the Trek Checkpoint is a bike designed to tackle all roads. See more details on this bike at Trek.

Very Cool! I want to know about the fork packs they show in the introduction video.

Cort Percer

Those are the Trek 720 fork rack (part #513965, sold separately) mounts paired with some drybags, most likely Sea to Summit. The dry bags that came with the 720 are also available, only in hi-vis, 8 liter capacity. A couple of places on the internet have them but it looks like you’ll get a better price by going into your LBS.

What is a 35c tire?

TrekPoint. Whoever is naming bikes in Waterloo missed the mark on this one.
